Studies of Babies Born at High Altitude: I. Relation of Altitude to Birth Weight
Abstract
As a part of Colorado's Premature Infant Program, the State Department of Public Health obtained the incidence of prematurity by counties in the state. There was considerable variation among the counties, but one (Lake County) had a much higher incidence than any of the others and, hence, has been the object of more intensive study. Table 1 shows a five-year picture of this county compared with mortality was not proportionately high. The physicians practicing in this area expressed the opinion that babies born there were often small but not premature. The fact that the residents of this county live at an altitude of 10,000-11,000 ft. prompted consideration of the possibility that altitude was responsible for the small babies. In this study detailed medical information was obtained from 180 mothers with the state average for prematurity and neonatal mortality. Although the incidence of prematurity by birth weight was 30.8%, three times

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
